Past winners and funding trends for this program
Testing Expertise and Access for Marine Energy Research (TEAMER) Program is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO). The TEAMER program provides marine energy developers with access to expertise and testing facilities to accelerate the technology development process. This includes support ranging from numerical modeling to tank testing to open water testing. While not a direct grant, it offers valuable in-kind resources that can significantly aid small businesses in the development and reliability assessment of marine energy technologies, including aspects related to subsea power cables.
Installation Noise Reduction and Reliable Moorings for Offshore Wind and Marine Energy is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) and Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO). Funding program supporting durable and environmentally responsible U.S. offshore wind energy and marine energy deployments, focusing on installation noise reduction and reliable moorings.
The Department of Education's FY2026 Comprehensive Centers Program competition, published in the Federal Register on May 8, restructures a 60-year-old technical assistance program around state-defined priorities. The headline change is the joint board with the Regional Educational Laboratories. The under-discussed change is the field-initiated content center category — and it is the most consequential opening for issue-specific organizations in a decade.
